I don't really have a strong opinion on the letter because I agree with a few of the comments that the cat is kind of out of the bag. Even if we don't reach AGI, however you want to define it, I think we are headed for something existential, so I'm both skeptical of letters like this ability to work and sympathetic to the need to focus on the issue it's attempting to address.

So with that said, I find the "what about existing AI problems" and especially the "I don't like Musk comments" annoying. The current issues aren't as severe as what we could be facing in the not too distant future, and Musk is pretty tangential to that concern.
